Apple broke the system() library function in 10.1, leading to crashes
in Postgres in the operations that rely on system() ... viz, CREATE
DATABASE and DROP DATABASE.
There is a workaround for this in 7.2b3. If you aren't interested in
running beta code, you could possibly retrofit the fix into 7.1; it
involves adding the file system.c, see
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/backend/port/darwin/system.c
